CAUTION: The pencil point spray adju- stment is very aggressive. We recommend that for most cleaning applications, a twenty degree (20°) spray angle be used
CAUTION to avoid damage to the surface being sprayed.
NOTE: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases as you move the wand closer to the surface.
To increase angle of fan spray, turn black tip coun- terclockwise.
To decrease angle to pencil point spray, turn black tip clockwise.
5.3USE OF DETERGENT
1.Remove wand. (Fig.21) See page 14.
2.Unscrew soap lance from bottle and make sure that the detergent suction tube is properly attached. (Fig.22) See page 15.
3.Install soap dispenser assembly. (Fig. 23)
4.The soap or wax will automatically be mixed with the water and discharged through the soap lan- ce.
5.4CLEANING TECHNIQUES
When cleaning with the pressure washer, many clea- ning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks it is advantageous to use detergent. A detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt allowing the high pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.
APPLICATION OF DETERGENT
1.Apply the pressure washer soap solution to a DRY work surface. NOTE: WETTING THE SURFACE FIRST IS NOT RECOMMENDED, AS IT DILUTES THE DETERGENT AND REDUCES ITS CLEANING ABILITY. On a vertical surface, apply soap hori- zontally from side to side starting from the bottom to avoid streaking.
CAUTION: Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize the chance of soap damage to painted
WARNING surfaces.
2.Allow the soap to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Check detergent bottle instructions.
CAUTION: Damage may occur to painted surface if soap is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time.
3.Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a vertical surface, first rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down. Hold nozzle 6 to 8 inches from the work surface at a 45° angle.
APPLICATION OF LIQUID VEHICLE WAX
1.Immediately after cleaning, apply liquid vehicle wax using the soap dispenser assembly.
2.Apply the wax sparingly in an even layer. Apply to wet surfaces from the bottom up for even distri- bution and to avoid streaking.
3.Remove the suction tube from the wax bottle and rinse off the surplus wax from your vehicle under low pressure. NOTE – IF SURPLUS WAX IS NOT REMOVED, A HAZY FINISH MAY RESULT.
4.Wipe dry to reduce water spotting.
5.5END OF OPERATION
When you have completed use of the soap/wax appli- cation, remove soap lance from detergent bottle and flush clean water through the tube until it is thoroughly cleaned.
NOTE: Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.
Press power switch to the “OFF” position to stop the machine. (Fig.18)
Disconnect GFCI plug.
Turn off water and depressurize unit by squeezing trigger.
WARNING: Turn off water supply and squeeze trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal
WARNING injury due to discharge of high pressure water.
Disconnect the high pressure hose and the garden hose.
5.6HOSE REEL KIT
Insert the high pressure hose nut coupler (Fig.24) into the slot in the hose reel.
Hold the hose firmly into the slot. At the same time, turn handle in the direction shown (Fig. 25). Allow hose to slide through hand applying slight resistance for proper coiling.
Stop winding hose 2 ft. (60 cm) from gun to provide enough slack to store gun in holder located on the docking station. See page 6, #27 for storage loca- tion.
